That's an intense amount of data about LEO activity and location being provided to the consumer. I wonder if they will bristle at this and have the product's functionality altered to curb this much data being available to the public. That's what they did with Waze evidently.

I used to use Waze but have uninstalled it since they started disallowing the submission of a LEO sighting through their app while the car is in motion. It now offers nothing substantial above the functionality offered by other map and navigation programs, so it fell victim to a de-cluttering of my phone.

It is intense!!! Yet, it is a choice to use whatever you need or like out of it. For example, personally, I just use it for extra "log out" BSM signals, being in front of me to the left, the colors splashing on the screen [over Waze as it can can be set up that way] is the only settings I use. No map heat, no past bogeys, I don't even like it to go through my Android car audio leveling the music. There are many hobbyist, for lack of better word, that do use all the function. I am not in that category!

Now about Waze, that you are writing is new to me as in New Mexico we can still place the LEO on the map. I did come across an article trying to sue Waze as here

Suing Waze

You would be amazed what some members of the RDForum have on their cars! From lazer jammers to other instruments I don't even know the names!

I actually do not use the R/D in town or villages I go through as I am adamant following the speed limit. Now, the mountain roads? that is another story for another day!

Take care...
